Subject: A Proposed `E-Society' Research Programme: Comments Invited
I hope you can post this for your subscribers:
Dear Colleagues:
A Proposed `E-Society' Research Programme: Comments Invited
I would like to invite your comments on a preliminary proposal for a new
Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) programme of research,
tentatively entitled The E-Society'. This UK research programme aims to
build on a set of interdisciplinary research programmes the Council has
supported on technology and people, and on the social and economic aspects
of information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as the `Virtual
Society? Programme'. A draft of the proposed programme is available
at: http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~wdutton/Esociety.html
Reviews from users, academics, practitioners and policy-makers will be
used to refine this proposal for presentation to the Council early in
January 2001. Please don't hesitate to pass this solicitation on to others
who may have views on the proposed research programme. I will need your
comments by the end of the year, if at all possible.
Thank you very much for your help in making this a successful and open
solicitation of a wide range of viewpoints on an important new programme
for the ESRC one that could have a significant influence on the course of
social and economic research on information, technology and society.
Regards,
Bill Dutton
Professor
